"Cao Ya, what are you laughing at?" The Heavenly Emperor stared at Cao Ya with a displeased expression.
"None of your business," Cao Ya retorted, showing no respect for the Heavenly Emperor whatsoever, which undoubtedly made the Heavenly Emperor's expression even more unpleasant.
Beside him, the newly resurrected Spirit Emperor looked at Cao Ya intently, his delicate brows furrowing slightly.
Cao Ya Daozu's behavior had always made her seem like she knew many secrets, and she couldn't help but wonder to herself, "Could it be that Cao Ya knows my plan?"
impossible!
The Spirit Emperor secretly shook her head. No one but herself could possibly know about this!
What exactly is Cao Yadaozu plotting?
The Spirit Emperor frowned, completely unable to see through the character of Cao Ya Daozu.
Forget it, I won't think about it anymore, it's none of my business anyway... My goal is the Heavenly Emperor, not Cao Ya Daozu... Now, there's only one last thing left in my life, waiting for me to complete it...
Then comes utter death... Ha, not so bad. For me, death is nothing to fear; living is torture!
Linghuang simply ignored Cao Yadaozu and turned his head to gaze at the Heavenly Emperor.
Her smile was bitter as she said:
"Master, do you really think I know nothing?"
"Hmm?" The Heavenly Emperor's face darkened as he looked at the Spirit Emperor, his brows furrowing, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.
"There's going to be a good show?" Chaos King muttered, devouring the source land while looking up at the sky, pricking up his ears to listen to the Spirit Emperor's heartfelt words.
"It seems that the Spirit Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor are not of one mind. But if that's the case, then the question arises: why is the Spirit Emperor willing to die for the Heavenly Emperor?" Fang Ping asked curiously and puzzled.
"Meow, don't look at me, I'm just a cat, I don't know anything." The gray cat shook its big head.
"Don't interrupt, just listen to what the Spirit Emperor has to say," Zhang Tao said, as he was most interested in these kinds of gossip and secrets.
Below, everyone listened intently, their faces full of gossip.
Even Cao Ya in the sky paused his actions, seemingly waiting for the Spirit Emperor to finish speaking.
The Three Sovereigns, while vying with the Heavenly Emperor for control of the Origin Land, also wanted to hear the Heavenly Emperor's secrets revealed by the Spirit Emperor. If it could be of any use to them in killing the Heavenly Emperor, that would be even better.
The Heavenly Emperor glanced around, his face grim.
This group of people seems to be watching a good show? Like watching a monkey show?!
"Ling, whatever you have to say, wait until I have pacified the Three Realms," the Heavenly Emperor shouted.
"No need, Master. Do the opinions of others really matter to you and me? If they do, why do you spread the Origin Martial Arts, drawing all beings in the Three Realms into the game, paving the way for you alone?" The Spirit Emperor whispered, seemingly blaming the Heavenly Emperor.
The Heavenly Emperor's face turned ashen. If it weren't for the fact that the Spirit Emperor was his valued disciple, hardworking and conscientious, and had served him for over 30,000 years, deserving of at least some credit for his efforts, he would have definitely attacked directly and killed the Spirit Emperor with a single sword strike.
Now, he wanted to hear what the Spirit Emperor had to say.
"You have a grudge against me?" The Heavenly Emperor stared at the Spirit Emperor, his eyes icy cold.
"Master, do you really think that I haven't noticed anything about what you've done for tens of thousands of years?" The Spirit Emperor laughed sadly. "More than 30,000 years ago, I didn't want to embark on the path of the Emperor. My father also advised me to do the same. But not long after, my tribe and my people all died. In order to kill powerful enemies, I embarked on the path of the Emperor!"
"In the end, I succeeded. I slew my powerful enemy, proved myself to be an empress, and became the only empress in the Three Realms!"
"But Master, that's not what I want!"
“Master, you have been so good to me. You provided everything I needed for cultivation without asking for a single penny. When my resolve to pursue the Dao wavered, you devised a plan to destroy my tribe and solidify my resolve to follow the Dao… Heh, Master, I have thought about whether I should forgive you, but I can’t!”
At this point, the Emperor's expression grew even more sorrowful.
The Heavenly Emperor's expression turned completely cold.
Those listening in exchange bewildered glances, feeling as if they had stumbled upon a shocking revelation.
"Holy crap, that old beast, the Heavenly Emperor, is truly ruthless! He actually did something so cruel as to wipe out a human tribe! He's a real beast!" Fang Ping cursed, his contempt for the Heavenly Emperor growing even stronger.
Even if the Heavenly Emperor's strength is at the pinnacle of the Three Realms!
"The tribe was wiped out, and the Spirit Emperor certainly couldn't forgive the Heavenly Emperor—that's what she said too, so why didn't she do it?" the God Forger wondered.
"Could it be that this little vixen, the Spirit Emperor, has a particular taste for this? Sigh, Brother Shi, it seems you've been on the wrong path for tens of thousands of years." Chaotic Heavenly King shook his head, looking at Shi Po with pity in his eyes.
"Get lost!" Shi Po's face darkened.
“I believe in Pang Ling; she’s definitely not the kind of person to betray her country,” Shi Po added at the end.
"So, the Spirit Emperor was deliberately trying to infiltrate the Heavenly Emperor's inner circle to gain his trust? What's the point? I don't see it! Besides, wasn't it the Thunder Lord, the strongest warrior who broke through the eighth level of the Initial Martial Realm, who destroyed the Spirit Emperor's tribe? How did he get involved with the Heavenly Emperor?" The Heavenly King of Suppression spread his hands.
"Cao Ya Daozu, did he already know about this?" Wang Jinyang glanced at Cao Ya, his eyes flashing, and asked.
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts stirred, and they all looked up.
Cao Ya's unusual behavior seemed to have a reason to be explained.
That is indeed the case.
Cao Ya knew about the Spirit Emperor's plan, which is why he wanted to laugh when he saw the Spirit Emperor being resurrected by the Heavenly Emperor.
The domineering Heavenly Emperor may seem arrogant and unpleasant, but in Cao Ya's eyes, he is digging his own grave.
However, the Spirit Emperor paid no attention to the reactions of the crowd and continued speaking:
"To achieve the status of Emperor through the Origin Martial Dao, one needs to kill the strongest being at the Eighth Level of the Initial Martial Dao. The one I killed was Lei Zun. He was the enemy who caused the destruction of my tribe. By killing him, I not only achieved the status of Emperor but also avenged my grudge. Logically, it should be a double celebration. However, in reality, I did not want to kill him. I preserved a wisp of his spiritual power and, after achieving the status of Emperor, secretly used the power of the Origin Land to revive him. I did not absorb the power of the Origin Land to strengthen myself."
When the Heavenly Emperor heard this, he found it hard to believe and also found it incredible.
Could it be that his disciple really has a problem with his brain?
Given that complex and entangled relationship of hatred and enmity, you actually thought about resurrecting Lei Zun? And you actually did it?!
The others also had strange expressions, wondering if the Spirit Emperor had lost his mind.
Cao Ya knew that this was because the Spirit Emperor was too much of a saint—not a hypocrite!
Of course, due to her personality, this kind of person is not quick to seek revenge. To outsiders, every choice she makes is infuriating, and they wish they could make the choices for her!
“Master, your Heavenly Division was destroyed because of the aftermath of the battle between the Sword God and the Martial God. However, you did not seek revenge on the Sword God and the Martial God afterward. Of course, I later learned that you had plotted against the Sword God and the Martial God, making them stepping stones for the God Emperor and the Eastern Emperor. You also secretly manipulated powerful people to destroy their tribes, which can be considered revenge for the destruction of the Heavenly Division.”
"But before this, I didn't know. I thought Lei Zun was crazy. He accidentally lost control of his power and destroyed my tribe. It was an unintentional mistake. So, after killing him once, his sins were absolved, and I should resurrect him."
"But after he was resurrected, I realized that behind all the major events, it was all your scheming, Master."
As the Spirit Emperor spoke, he looked sadly at the Heavenly Emperor.
